What are the requirements for Express Entry?
- Answer
- Express Entry consists of a web service which is accessed by your client. The client code can be any language that supports REST queries and XML responses.
- Sample code is available in C#.NET, Visual BASIC.NET, JavaScript, and PHP.
How does Express Entry work?
- Answer
- The client code forms a secure query in REST (the Web standard.) For example:
https://expressentry.melissadata.net/web/CompleteAddress?auth=[LicenseKey]&maxmatches=10&format=XML&allwords=9000+R
- This consumes (receives) the completed information via XML or JSON. Using the Visual Studio libraries, parsing XML is simple – just search for the desired node using a string and traverse the siblings (see samples).
How many keystrokes can I expect to save?
- Answer
- With Express Entry, you can expect to cut your keystrokes in half.
I found an address that is not in the system. What should I do?
- Answer
- Your code will need to support the entry of the full address if it is not found in the database.
Why does CompleteAddress return my search in a city name first, instead of searching through addresses (line 1)?
- Answer
- The web service currently matches the search term in any part of the address, not just line 1. Try narrowing down your search by adding more characters to the search term.
